i find myself drooling over that strut tower bar..

three-point connection.

dual-bar, semi-trellis framework.

damn - very fitting to convertible-chassis-stiffening efforts..

fuckin bravo to the orchestration of optimization !

[ejnight]

Very nice

Flamesuit on:

You did a formidable job cutting a check(s)

... I just don't get the big "wow" here. You had an idea, albiet not a creative one, and got a shop to do all the work.

Azevedo, to me, is a proffesional who apparently does top notch work.

R3v, on the other hand, is a collection of guys who use each other's help and tools that rival fred flinstone's to do engine swaps. That to me has a wow factor.

Your caris like a breitling watch: Pretty & Pricey

Credit where due: you must've dropped over 25k usd on that thing as a side project, what ever you do in life must pay well.


No hard feelings, cool car

Thats a John Mason strut bar .
He makes THE bEST strut bars for BMW's out there .

You can buy from him or you can help out a couple local dudes and buy it from vorschlag.com and maybe save a few bucks .

Sweet ride. But X 2. Paying to build a dream car is less than impressive to me. The guys that built it deserve the credit for the photo shoot and the praise for the way it came out.

There is nothing new here. That is the way all of Vlad's cars have been. While I agree with you to an extent, Vlad still has awesome taste and his cars are still incredible. He could have also paid them a lot of money to make some tasteless show car, and they would have taken his money either way.

[sticksdaman]

i guess paycheck modding is still modding albiet impersonal

sick nonetheless

Azevedo is a fucking hack! He is unproffesional and does illegal work!

Sorry to shit on your thread, your car's are the only legit cars that have come out of the shop.

[Fanzotti]

No doubt, Cool car but I'd be more impressed if you built it.

"If you don't know where you want to go..

how are you going to get there?"


Regardless of how it got done - it is clear that components and their conglomeration were considered in an effort to reach a package or result that has a greater value than the sum of said components.

Nothing about the orchestration was haphazard.

It's like a semi-artistic facsimile of what the factory should have manufactured if a no-limits approach had been taken.

The fuckin car is sweet. Truly. Fuckin. Sweet.

Why would one bother to care how it how it was accomplished?

I see your point. Beautiful car. Nicely done. I guess for me though, I'd be much more impressed with the guy that put his sweat into it. That being said, Swet ride, very nice job.
